Answers :

Might be as simple as a damaged lead. Have you, or a friend got another device with the same type of lead? Try it, see if it makes any difference. Also try a different USB socket in case that is the problem.If all else fails, you could just get a memory card reader & work around it that way.

My finepix J38 camera isn't connecting to my computer. the USB cord is fine and my camera isn't broken. i have another camera and i also tried to connect it to my computer but it wouldnt work. by the way i tried two other different computers and none of them connected the two cameras.

I have had my camera for 18 months and have been able to transfer images to my computer all that time until this morning. I connected the camera to the computer and found that the computer no longer detects the camera. I cant figure out why. The computer detects the cable used to connect the camera but doesn't detect the camera when the cable is detected.

No connection between camera and computer, sometimes it connects but won't stay connected long enough to download pics. Its not the wire as it has worked with a different camera. I tried putting the memory card in another camera and using different computer but that didn't work and after taking the memory card out of that camera it no longer will connect either.

USB connection The computer cannot access the Memory Stick® media in the camera when connected with the USB cable. I connect the camera to my computer using the USB, then after 10 seconds its says there is no device connected to the computer, and then it gives me option to cancel, retry, or continue but it usually connects automatically itself again. The only problem is that I can't do anything with pictures can't copy, delete, or view them. I'ce already tried to delete and reinstall the driver.

I would invest in a memory card reader. You can pick one up for under $20. Using a card reader allows you to avoid having to deal with drivers and such that may or may not be loaded on your PC. A card reader should work just fine for ya. Good luck ...
